Weekend in Merano: the flower festival, yoga and spring

It is always a great idea to take a vacation to Merano and there is no better time, because any time of the year is perfect for enjoying a break in this elegant South Tyrolean town. Now, for example, we go to Merano to rediscover all the colors and scents of spring not only because its marvelous gardens are at the height of their beauty, but above all because an event is about to begin that for lovers of botany and seasonal wonders is one not to be missed: it is the Merano Flower Festival, the appointment that from 22 to 25 April will enliven every corner, from its arcades to its parks.

What is happening at the Merano Flower Festival

The beating heart of the event will be the Along Passirio where will the show market (free admission) of flowers and ornamental plants but also garden accessories, proposed by exhibitors from Germany, France, Belgium and many other countries besides Italy, chosen by the curator of the event, the journalist Mimma Pallavicini, which from 2019 brings the most refined and special proposals to Merano. And then from here all that remains is to move to participate in many events dedicated to plants, flowers, sustainability, discovering the city.

On the Flower Stage, the main stage of the event, there will be meetings, book presentations, readings, talks and lots of music. Meanwhile, there will be workshops for children and teenagers, for example on how to create creations with recycled or natural materials, or on the production of green energy, with Alperia which will also offer a virtual visit to a hydroelectric plant, and a real one, on Saturday 23, in Töll. Meanwhile, still in the market exhibition, there will be a Flower Bistrot where to take a break with smoothies and vegetarian snacks. All this while Merano, as happens now every spring, will wear an even more refined dress with Floral decorations in every corner, between “Cazador del Sol” (in Spanish “the sun-catchers”) which are installations that capture the sun’s rays, “Vegetable sculptures » and themed set-ups.

The Yoga Meeting

On 23 and 24 April, at the Kurhaus Merano, there will also be one Yoga Meeting: two days dedicated to well-being and psychophysical balance, during which you can participate in seminars and open classes and attend an art exhibition entitled “The Inner Beauty” and an Indian dance show.
